The Death of Vincent Foster By Michael Rivero

The Death of Vincent Foster

By Michael Rivero

Evidence Of A Cover-up

INTRODUCTION

This is the story that nobody dares touch. This is the story that ended my career in Hollywood back in 1994.Despite having reported the discovery of Dr. Haut's signed report
confirming the existence of a second wound to Vincent Foster's neck, radio
host Rush Limbaugh to this very day refers to Vincent Foster's death as
a suicide.

Even Matt Drudge, when presented with the FBI records proving that
the FBI fraudulently manufactured Lisa Foster's recognition of the gun
found at Fort Marcy Park, refused to get involved, opting instead for a
story accusing Sidney Blumenthal of domestic violence (for which Drudge
was then sued and made famous).UPDATE NOVEMBER 2014Courtesy of a reader in Toronto.Click for larger image It only took them twenty years to catch up with me, but it is nice to see!
So, what would had happened if Rush Limbuagh and Matt Druge, not to
mention ABCNNBBCBS had had the courage to report this story back in
1994? I would have kept my film career, of course, but beyond that, we
might have avoided three Presidential administrations convinced that
they could do whatever they wanted to do and get away with it, whether
it was murdering the White House Deputy Council, lying about Saddam's nuclear weapons to start a war of conquest, or scamming us all with 9-11, or human-caused global warming, Obamacare, etc.
There is a funny line in the first
"Men in Black" movie where Agent K says that the tabloids are the best
reporting on the planet. The Examiner just proved him right! :) UPDATE: Pat Knowlton's audio tapes of Miguel Rodriguez confirming the deceptions
and cover-up in the Vince Foster Case. Part 1 (RealAudio) Part 2 (RealAudio) Part 3 (RealAudio) Part 4 (RealAudio)

UPDATE: Allan Favish's FOIA yields more photos.

Allan Favish's Freedom Of Information Act lawsuit achieved a
breakthrough
recently when a Federal District Judge ordered 5 of the 10 crime scene
Polaroid photographs released. One of these is no doubt the photo of the
dark blued steel revolver and Foster's hand previously leaked by the
White
House to Reuter's News Service. But the other four are photos not
publicly
seen before.Here is the judge's order.Click

THE EVENTS SURROUNDING THE DEATH OF VINCENT FOSTER

On July 20, 1993, six months to the day after Bill Clinton took office
as President of the United States, the White House Deputy Council, Vincent
Foster, told his secretary Deborah Gorham, "I'll be right back". He then
walked out of his office, after offering his co-worker Linda
Tripp, the leftover M&Ms from his lunch tray.That was the last time Vincent Foster was seen alive.Contrary to the White House spin, Vincent Foster's connection to
the Clinton's was primarily via Hillary, rather than Bill. Vincent and
Hillary had been partners together at the rose law firm, and allegations
of an ongoing affair had persisted from the
Little Rock days to the White House itself.Vincent Foster had been struggling with the Presidential Blind trust.
Normally a trivial matter, the trust had been delayed for almost 6 months
and the U.S. trustee's office was beginning to make noises about it. Foster
was also the keeper of the files of the Clinton's Arkansas dealings and
had indicated in a written memo that "Whitewater
is a can of worms that you should NOT open!"But Vincent's position at the White House did not sit well with him.
Only days before, following a public speech stressing the value of personal
integrity, he had confided in friends and family that he was thinking of
resigning his position. Foster had even written an outline for his letter
of resignation, thought by this writer to have been used as the center
portion of the fake "suicide note". Foster had scheduled a private meeting
with Bill Clinton for the very next day, July 21, 1993 at which it appeared
Foster intended to resign.Vincent Foster had spent the morning making "busy work" in his office
and had been in attendance at the White House announcement of Louis Freeh
as the new head of the FBI earlier in the day (passing by the checkpoint
manned by White House uniformed guard Styles).This is a key point. The White House is the most secure private residence
in the world, equipped with a sophisticated entry control system and video
surveillance system installed by the Mitre Corporation. Yet no record exists
that Vincent Foster left the White House under his own power on July 20th,
1993. No video of him exiting the building exists. No logbook entry shows
he checked out of the White House.Several hours after he was last seen inside the White House, Vincent
Foster was found dead in Fort Marcy Park,
in a Virginia suburb just outside Washington D.C.The death was ruled a suicide (the first major Washington suicide
since Secretary of Defense James Forrestal in 1949), but almost immediately
rumors began to circulate that the story of a suicide was just a cover-up
for something much worse.The first witness to find the body insisted that there had been no
gun near the body. The memory in Foster's pager had been erased. Critical
evidence began to vanish. Many witnesses
were harassed. Others were simply ignored. There
were even suggestions that the body had been moved,
and a Secret Service memo surfaced which reported
that Foster's body had been found in his car! The official reports were
self-contradictory.

The Looting of Foster's office

While the U.S. Park Police (a unit not equipped for a proper homicide
investigation) studied the body, Foster's office at the White House was
being looted. Secret Service agent Henry O' Neill watched as Hillary Clinton's
chief of staff, Margaret Williams, carried boxes of papers out of Vincent
Foster's office before the Park Police showed up to seal it. Amazing when
you consider that the official identification of Vincent Foster's body
by Craig Livingstone did not take place
until 10PM! Speaking of Craig Livingstone, another Secret Serviceman saw
him remove items from Vincent Foster's office in violation of the official
seal. Witnesses also saw Bernard Nussbaum in Foster's office as well. Three
witnesses noted that Patsy Thomason, director of the White House's Office
of Administration, was desperate to find the combination to Vincent Foster's
safe. Ms. Thomason finally opened the safe, apparently with the help of
a special "MIG" technical team signed into the White House in the late
hours. Two envelopes reported to be in the safe by Foster's secretary Deborah
Gorham, addressed to Janet Reno and to William Kennedy III, were never
seen again. When asked the next day regarding rumors of the safe opening,
Mack McLarty told reporters Foster's office did not even have a safe, a
claim immediately shot down by former occupants of that office.The next day, when the Park Police arrived for the official search
of Vincent Foster's office, they were shocked to learn that Nussbaum, Thomason
and Williams had entered the office. Conflicts channeled through Janet
Reno's Department of Justice resulted in the Park Police merely sitting
outside Foster's office while Bernard Nussbaum continued his own search
of Foster's office. During this search, he opened and upended Vincent Foster's
briefcase, showing it to be empty. Three days later, it would be claimed
that this same briefcase was where the torn up suicide note was discovered.The boxes of documents removed from Foster's office by Hillary Clinton's
chief of staff, Margaret Williams, were taken to the private residence area
of the White House! Eventually, only 54 pages emerged.One set of billing records, under subpoena for two years, and thought
to have originated in Foster's office, turned up unexpectedly in the private
quarters of the White House, with Hillary's fingerprints
on them!So, who ordered the office looting?Bill Clinton was unavailable, being on camera with Larry King. But
Hillary Clinton, who had only the day before diverted her planned return
to Washington D.C. to Little Rock, was on the phone from Little Rock to
someone at the White House in the moments before the looting took place.

The initial reactions

Back in Little Rock, Foster's friends weren't buying it. Doug Buford,
friend and attorney, stated, "...something was badly askew." Foster's brother-in-law,
a former congressman, also did not accept that depression was what had
been behind the "suicide": "That's a bunch of crap." And Webster Hubbell,
former Clinton deputy attorney general, phoned a mutual friend to say,
"Don't believe a word you hear. It was not suicide. It couldn't have been."Outside experts not connected the official investigation also had
their doubts.Vincent J. Scalise, a former NYC detective, Fred Santucci, a former
forensic photographer for NYC, and Richard Saferstein, former head of the
New Jersey State Crime Lab formed a team and did an investigation of the
VWF case for the Western Journalism Center of Fair Oaks, Calif. They arrived
at several conclusions:(1) Homicide cannot and should not be ruled out.(2) The position of the arms and legs of the corpse were drastically
inconsistent with suicide.(3) Neither of VWF's hand was on the handgrip when it was fired.
This is also inconsistent with suicide. The investigators noted that in
their 50 years of combined experience they had "never seen a weapon or
gun positioned in a suicide's hand in such an orderly fashion."(4) VWF's body was probably in contact with one or more carpets prior
to his death. The team was amazed that the carpet in the trunk of VF's
care had not been studied to see whether he had been carried to the park
in the trunk of his own car.(5) The force of the gun's discharge probably knocked VF's glasses
flying; however, it is "inconceivable" that they could have traveled 13
feet through foliage to the site where they were found; ergo, the scene
probably was tampered with.(6) The lack of blood and brain tissue at the site suggests VF was
carried to the scene. The peculiar tracking pattern of the blood on his
right cheek also suggests that he was moved.Despite numerous official assurances that Vincent Foster really did
commit suicide, more and more Americans, over 70%
at the last count, no longer believe the official story. TV specials, most
notably the one put out by A&E's "Inside Investigations" with Bill
Kurtis, have failed to answer the lingering questions, indeed have engaged
in deliberate fraud to try to dismiss the evidence that points to a cover-up.

This website

This web site is built primarily from official records, newspaper reports,
and other hard data. Careful analysis of those records reveals a pattern
of deliberate obfuscation surrounding Vincent Foster's death. This pattern
of obfuscation, this cover-up, is a matter that should concern all Americans,
not because of what it means for Vincent Foster, but because of what it
means for the rest of us.One thing is for certain. As we approach the fifth anniversary of
this crime, it is clear from the amount of resources being brought to bear
by the government that there is something about this particular crime that
has made those in power very afraid.With the latest Zogby Poll revealing that
the majority of Americans no longer believe the official claim of suicide,
the perpetuation of the cover-up must be to prevent an examination of the
motive, why was Vincent Foster murdered and
his body dumped in Fort Marcy Park?

NEW! Photo of Vince Foster's shirt after he was removed from
Fort Marcy Park proves Foster had to have been shot where he was found.

One of the many false trails put out by government disinformation
operatives was the claim that Vince Foster really did kill himself
but did so someplace embarrassing and his body was moved to Fort Marcy
Park post-mortem, explaining away the many
inconsistencies in the evidence of a suicide at Fort Marcy Park itself.
Contradicting that claim was the observation that, while the body was
rather bloodless
as found (suggesting that Foster was already dead by other means when a
gun was fired into his mouth to simulate a suicide) once paramedics
moved the body,
blood poured from the wounds, staining Foster's shirt.
The above photo is of Vince Foster's shirt after it had been
removed from his body at the Morgue. As can clearly be seen,
the process of moving the body resulted in a great deal of blood flow
from the head wounds. This proves that the gunshot wound to the head,
although most likely post-mortem, was inflicted exactly where the body
was found at Fort Marcy Park.

The ABC TV Photograph.

Where's the blood?

On Friday, March 11, 1994, in response to rumors which were even then
beginning to circulate regarding Foster's death, ABC News broadcast the
following photograph, which had been leaked by the White House to Reuter's
news agency. The intent was to reinforce the claim that Foster's death
had indeed been a suicide.The photo did not have the intended effect.Click
for full size picture.I was not a political activist at the time, nor did I ever intend to become
one. My career is in feature film and TV visual effects, which I have been doing
for almost forty years. I know about film fakery. And the instant I saw
the above photo on TV I turned to my wife and said to her half jokingly,
"This is staged! If I did work this sloppy I wouldn't be working." But
the more I thought about it, the less funny it all seemed.There are several troubling aspects in this photograph, which reveal
it to be a staged shot. First and foremost among them the total lack of
blood anywhere in the scene.This lack of blood is the single, strongest proof that Vincent Foster
did NOT put the gun into his own mouth and pulls the trigger. Had he done
so, the blowback from the gunshot would have coated the gun, hand, and
white sleeve of Foster's shirt with a spray of blood and organic matter.
None appears in the photo anywhere.The FBI lab report reveals that even with the most sensitive chemical
test available, no blood was found on the gun that Foster (we are told)
inserted into his mouth and fired. Not only that, Foster's fingerprints
were not on the gun.This is the crux of the suicide theory put forward by the government,
that Vincent Foster, under stress, on a hot July day, put the barrel of
a .38 revolver into his mouth and pulled the trigger, and did not leave
blood OR FINGERPRINTS on that gun.Click here for the official documents.

The lack of blood.

Was Foster already dead when the headshot was fired?

One of the key pieces of information that argued against suicide was
the lack of blood at the scene.When the brain is destroyed, the heart will continue to beat on its
own, for as long as it has oxygenated blood to feed it. This is why head
trauma victims provide most donor hearts. The heart remains alive as long
as blood is still in the body.In the case of a gunshot into the mouth, the bullet has to pass through
the sinus cavities. Any child who has been in a schoolyard fight knows
how easy it is for the nose to start bleeding and how hard it can be to
stop.Had Foster really shot himself in the mouth, his heart would have
continued to beat, pumping most of his blood out through the shattered
sinus cavities and the entrance wound in his mouth, as well as out through
the supposed exit wound.But this did not happen. Witnesses at the scene reported a "trickle"
of blood from the mouth and nose (one of the tracks appeared to have flowed
up hill).

The Fiske Report.

Robert Fiske was the first Independent Council
appointed to investigate the Whitewater scandal. For a variety of reasons,
including his past association with BCCI (a failed
bank involved with the laundering of drug money), Fiske was considered
by many unsuitable to investigate the various failed S&L in the Whitewater
affair (many of which also appear to have been involved with the laundering
of drug money) and Fiske was eventually replaced by Kenneth Starr.The Preliminary Report On Vincent Foster
by Robert Fiske.Note that Fiske's report was only preliminary. His final report on
Vincent Foster remains sealed. When the Wall Street Journal filed a Freedom
Of Information Act request to force the release of Fiske's final report,
the court, in an unprecedented prior restraint,
ordered the Wall Street Journal not to report on the case, or to even mention
what the final ruling actually was.This illegal prior restraint is one of the
indicators, which reveals how terrified the government is of the facts
behind the death of Vincent Foster.

THE COVER-UP UNRAVELS

No sooner had the preliminary Fiske report been issued than it met with
immediate criticism, even from the U.S. House
of Representatives.Careful analysis of the report by private citizens, typified by Hugh
Sprunt's "Citizen's Investigative Report" revealed dozens and dozens
of obvious and clumsy contradictions.Yet another outstanding series of articles was written by Dave Martin
called, "America's Dreyfus Affair".

THE SILVER BLACK GUN

Among the most damning pieces of evidence to emerge from the official
records was the deliberate and fraudulent manufacturing of the testimony
of Lisa Foster in regards to the gun found with Vincent Foster's body.Vincent Foster was found with a .38 revolver made by Colt Arms. It
was built from parts taken from two other guns, and as a result had two
serial numbers. The Frame number was 355055, and according to the records
of the Colt Arms Company , the gun was manufactured with a standard
dark blue, almost black, finish.In the Park Police record, the
gun is described as black. The accompanying photographs
in the Park police report show a black gun.The photograph leaked by the White House
to ABC-TV also shows a dark gun. Compare the reflectivity of the gun to
Foster's gold ring on his finger, just an inch away.In all the statements by the Fort Marcy Park witnesses, in the Park
Police reports, in the reports by experts at the FBI and ballistics lab,
the gun is never described as anything but dark blue or (more often) black.
The photographs recently obtained in Allan
Favish's FOIA lawsuit clearly show a dark surface to the gun.No connection exists between that gun and Vincent Foster. Foster's
fingerprints
were not on the gun. Neither was any of his blood
. The DNA traces on the gun, while "not
inconsistent" with Foster, were more likely to have originated with a black
or a Hispanic than with a Caucasian. No gunpowder
or bullet fragments were found in Foster's
wounds that could be matched to the gun!Despite this, Robert Fiske inserted a comment on page
38 of his report on Foster; a statement that Lisa Foster thought the
gun found with her husband was one she had brought up from Little Rock,
Arkansas.This statement came from an interview of
Lisa Foster conducted by the FBI on May 9th, 1994, more
than nine months after Vincent Foster's death.In the handwritten notes and final FD-302a
report of the interview, the interviewing FBI agents describe the gun being
shown to Lisa Foster as "silver colored", not just once, but many times.
The gun is never described as dark blue or black.The FBI agents are not quoting Lisa Foster, they write down THEIR
impressions of what is being said and done. In their own words, on the
bottom of page 16 and the top of page
17 of the FD-302a form, "LISA FOSTER believes that the gun found at
Fort Marcy Park may be the silver gun which she brought up with her other
belongings when she permanently moved to Washington."In order for Lisa Foster to believe that the gun presented to her
as the Fort Marcy Park gun might be the family silver gun, the gun presented
as the Fort Marcy Park gun must also be silver. Lisa Foster doesn't have
to be a gun expert to know that silver is not black.From the official record, its clear that Lisa Foster was shown a
gun she recognized as the gun she brought up from Little Rock, but its
equally clear that this is not the same gun as that found with Vincent
Foster. Black is not silver.CLICK HERE TO REVIEW THE OFFICIAL RECORDS
THAT PROVE THE FBI MANUFACTURED LISA FOSTER'S TESTIMONY.Gun powder residue was found on Foster's body, although not in
his mouth. Later testing showed the residue to be unique to Winchester
.22 ammunition, as reported in the amended complaint filed by attorney
John Clarke on behalf of Patrick KNowlton.

Patrick Knowlton

The credibility of the suicide claim took another hit when one of the
witnesses at Fort Marcy Park, Patrick Knowlton, came forward to claim that
the FBI had altered his testimony. Patrick was then harassed and threatened,
which prompted the filing of a lawsuit
for witness tampering.

Perry/Patterson

The White House had come forward to claim that they were not notified
of the discovery of Vincent Foster's body until quite late in the evening.
This was a critical item relating to when Vincent Foster's office was officially
sealed for the investigation and (as it later came out) when it was being
looted of records.But two Arkansas State Troopers put the White House's official time
of notification in doubt.Roger Perry and Larry Patterson had both come forward to report a
phone call made from the White House to the Arkansas Governor's mansion
approximately two hours earlier than the White House claimed it had learned
of Foster's death. The Clinton's nanny, Helen Dicky, made the call.During the Whitewater hearings, Helen placed the call much later,
and to bring the issue to an end the committee members announced to all
that the "former" troopers had changed their minds and would not testify
to receiving the call any earlier than Helen stated.This, of course, was yet another lie. Perry and Patterson were not
"former" anything; they were still Arkansas State troopers who had wanted
to testify but were kept out.Angered and with no other venue, Perry and Patterson swore out affidavits
stating the facts as they knew them.

Linda Tripp

Recently, at the end of her appearance before the Monica Lewinsky Grand
Jury, Linda Tripp issued a public statement
that hinted at the deceptions behind the death of Vincent Foster.

THE "SUICIDE" NOTE

AT LEAST PARTLY A FORGERY.

No single item connected to the Foster death has aroused as much controversy
as the so-called "suicide" note.This was a note, allegedly written by Vincent Foster and discovered
in his briefcase some days after his death. The problem was that Bernard
Nussbaum, in controlling the Park Police search of Foster's office, had
shown them that same briefcase empty just two days before. Coupled with
that was the fact that the White House did not report the existence of
the note for almost 36 hours after it was allegedly discovered.Adding another odd aspect to the note was the great pains taken to
conceal it from the public. Even though the text itself had been published,
Jim Hamilton made a point, during Lisa Foster's FBI interview to remind
everyone that photos of the note were
not to be allowed out, even in response to a Freedom of Information Act
Request.Hamilton went to far as to request, in a letter (page
1 - page 2) to Janet Reno, the
return of the actual "suicide" note as soon as possible, and thanks her
again for refusing to allow photographs of the note to be allowed in public.Such secrecy surrounding a supposed suicide note aroused much curiosity,
which was finally satisfied when someone on the inside leaked a photocopy
of the note to the Wall Street Journal, which published it.The availability of the note prompted James Davidson at Strategic
Investment to commission three of the world's top document examiners to
examine the note.In their report, all three experts judged
the note to be a forgery!This hardly came as a surprise. An even cursory
examination reveals that at last two different hands worked on that note,
suggesting that Foster's outline for a letter of resignation (for that
is what Lisa Foster thought the note had been) was modified. A botched
attempt at a signature may have required the strange tearing of the note
with the loss of one-piece right where the signature would go.The note had fingerprints on it. Officially, the origin of the prints
remains undetermined, but while testifying before the Whitewater committee,
the FBI expert reported that one palm print was identified as belonging
to Bernard Nussbaum.

THE AUTOPSY

FOSTER'S "MAGIC" BULLET HOLE.

Virtually the entire case for supposed suicide rests firmly on the autopsy
done by Dr. James C. Beyer, a pathologist for Fairfax County, Virginia
with strong ties to the FBI.Dr. Bayer's autopsy report at
first reading seems unremarkable. It's conclusion is that Vincent Foster
died of a single gunshot wound entering the roof of the mouth and exiting
the back of the skull.But on closer examination, problems become apparent.Dr. Beyer's co-worker at the Fairfax County, Virginia, medical examiner's
office is Dr. Donald Haut. It was Dr. Haut, not Dr. Beyer, who actually
examined Vincent Foster's body while it was still at Fort Marcy Park, assisted
by John Rolla. On page two of Dr. Haut's signed
report, the wound track is described as a "gunshot wound mouth to neck".This corroborates the eyewitness testimony of EMS Technician Richard
Arthur, who described the gunshot wound in some detail, placing it under
the right ear. This is consistent with the news
story reported by Ambrose Evens-Pritchard, who described
a photograph of that wound.Was there really an exit wound out the back of Foster's head?Prior to the body's delivery to Beyer, nobody reported a gunshot
wound out the back of the head. EMS Sergeant Gonzalas stated he did NOT
see a gunshot wound out the back of the head. John Rolla did not report
a gunshot wound out the back of the head. Another EMS Technician, Cory
Ashford, testified is a tape recorded interview with reporter Chris
Ruddy that he was certain there was NO exit wound at the back of the
head while Vincent Foster was at Fort Marcy Park!Outside of the obviously altered page one
of Dr. Haut's report, there isn't a single official record of a gunshot
wound exiting the back of Foster's head while he's still at Fort Marcy
Park.It is not until the body arrives at Dr. Beyer's morgue that the neck
wound seen by Arthur and Haut seems to go away and the wound out the back
of the head appears.On the wound description page in the
Beyer autopsy, the box for neck wounds has been left blank.But the wound that Beyer DOES describe is rather odd. Supposedly,
the wound is the result of a soft nosed unjacketed lead bullet being fired
through two dense bones, first at the base of the skull and then at the
rear. There should be metal fragments all over the wound track. For a comparison,
take a look at the X-ray taken of John F. Kennedy's
skull following his assassination. Metal fragments are seen throughout
the interior of the skull, and this is from a full metal jacket round,
the type that LIMITS fragmentation!Yet in describing the wound track in Vincent Foster's head, Beyer
notes on page 2 of his report that no metallic
fragments were recovered during the examination! There should have been
lead scrapings all over the bone perforations, had a soft-nosed lead bullet
really made them!More recently, a FBI telex was uncovered
which reported that the autopsy conducted by the Fairfax County Medical
Examiner had found a bullet entry but NO EXIT WOUND!The missing X-raysBeyer himself checked and signed the boxes
on his report indicating that X-rays had been taken. Dr. Beyer told
Park Police Detective James G. Morrissette that the X-rays showed no bullet
fragments at all. Again, with the type of ammunition in the gun found with
Foster's body, this is impossible.Of course, the X-rays were not to be found. Beyer later claimed that
they hadn't been taken, and that his X-ray machine was broken, although
the service records on that machine do not bear out this claim.The missing crime scene photosWith the exception of a few Polaroid photos that are currently the
subject of Allan
Favish's FOIA lawsuit, no photographs
of the crime scene exist.The 35mm photographs taken by the Park Police were supposedly underexposed
in the laboratory (although Starr investigator Miquel
Rodriguez reportedly used an outside lab to successfully recover images
from the film, just prior to his conflict with Mark Touhey and subsequent
resignation from the OIC).In addition to the 35mm photos, many more of the Polaroids of the
crime scene simply vanished.It turns out that Beyer was the last person known to be in possession
of the now-vanished crime scene Polaroids. Rolla was unable to attend the
autopsy of Vincent Foster because the autopsy was moved up 24 hours unexpectedly.
As Rolla stated in his testimony, "Normally you like to have at least one
of the scene investigators at the autopsy to answer questions for the medical
examiner [Dr. James C. Beyer], but he had the photographs and copies of
the reports."Rolla testified that the photos were inside the case jacket when
the jacket went to Beyer. After it had come back, the photos were gone.
Note also that whereas it is normal to have investigators present for the
autopsy, the last minute schedule change, moving the Foster up a day, meant
that Beyer performed a significant part of the autopsy unobserved. By the
time Park Police observers saw the body, Beyer had removed Foster's entire
tongue and upper palette, obliterating the "mouth to neck" gunshot wound
Dr. Haut had seen.Clearly, something is very wrong with the autopsy and the preponderance
of evidence points to Beyer as author of the deception. Certainly, he was
well positioned to tamper with Dr. Haut's original
report, altering the page 1 description.Beyer's past history isn't the most reassuring. Indeed he seems to
be the Virginia version of the infamous Dr. Fahmy Malek, the Arkansas M.E.
who ignored clear evidence of homicide in the deaths of Don Henry and Kevin
Ives and in one case ruled that a man who had been beheaded was dead of
natural causes.Beyer himself, in the case of Tommy Burkett,
ignored a broken jaw in order to rule that Burkett had killed himself with
a gun. Despite having shown the autopsy photos to Burkett's father, Beyer
later claimed (as he did with the Foster X-rays) that they had never
really existed. After a second autopsy, the case was reopened as a
homicide.Likewise, in 1989 there was an autopsy on establishing the death
of a man named Tim Easley. Mr. Beyer, the coroner,
ruled that Easley killed himself by stabbing himself in the chest. He failed
to notice a defensive wound on the man's hand. The case was reopened, and,
after an outside expert reviewed the case, Easley's girlfriend confessed
to murdering him.In short, Dr. Beyer's consistent performance (indeed his "specialty")
appears to be the cover-up of murder by declaration of suicide!In the case of Vincent Foster, the question must be asked if Dr.
Beyer, given his past history, changed a non-fatal neck wound seen by witnesses
at Fort Marcy Park into a fatal head shot needed for the suicide cover
up.

The Starr Report.

Long before the actual release of Kenneth
Starr's report on Vincent Foster, and despite an appearance of a
sincere effort at investigation, there were indications of an impending
continuance of the cover-up started by Starr's predecessor, Robert Fiske
(the BCCI lawyer).The first indication came with Starr's handling of investigator Miquel
Rodriquez' conflicts with fellow investigator Mark Touhey. Rodriquez
had uncovered what he thought was clear evidence of a cover-up in the death
of Vincent Foster; in hindsight it would be almost impossible not to.By way of example, Rodriguez had taken the 35mm negatives taken at
the Fort Marcy Park location, which had been declared unusable, and taken
them to an outside image enhancement lab which succeeded in recovering
images from the negatives.Under normal circumstances, one would assume such a success at recovering
data would meet with approval, but such was not to be. Rodriguez came under
severe criticism and opposition from fellow investigator Mark Touhey. When
Rodriguez took the conflict to Kenneth Starr, Starr backed Touhey and Rodriguez
was forced to resign, his enhanced photographs of the crime scene have
never been released.Further confirmation of Starr's intentions came when the FBI records
regarding the showing of a silver gun to Lisa Foster first surfaced. Hugh
Sprunt, in one of his many meetings with investigators from Kenneth
Starr's office, informed them of this discovery. Starr's investigators,
echoing the claims being put out on the internet at the time, assured Hugh
Sprunt that the photo leaked by the White House to Reuter's was quite misleading
with regard to the gun's color, and that it was reasonable to consider
the gun to be of "silver color". As can be seen by the high quality photographs
of the gun released as part of Allan Favish's Freedom Of Information Act
lawsuit, the gun is quite dark, and not to be confused with a shiny silver
gun.With such an obvious pander to the official story coming from the
lips of Starr's own investigators, it therefore came as no surprise that
Kenneth
Starr's report on Vincent Foster continued the claim of suicide. But
unlike the Fiske Report, Starr's Report had something new. It had an addendum.This addendum had been submitted
by the attorney for Patrick Knowlton,
John Clarke, and had been added to Starr's Report by the three-judge panel
supervising his work over Starr's strenuous objections!The addendum so undermined the conclusions
of Starr's report that Starr had it published in a second, separate volume
from his own report. Copies of the Starr report were then distributed to
the media without the second volume. Most Americans to this day are not
aware of the existence of the court ordered addendum to the Starr Report.Kenneth Starr caught in a lie.In his report on Vincent Foster, Kenneth Starr attempted to resolve
some of the lingering questions regarding the claim of suicide.One such question involved the dark blued steel gun found with Foster's
body (the gun that the FBI had fraudulently tried to link to Vincent Foster)
which did not have any of his fingerprints on it.Kenneth Starr included in his report the comment that glove box of
Vincent Foster's car contained an oven mitt. Dr. Henry Lee had concluded
that Vincent Foster had carried the dark blued steel revolver to Fort Marcy
Park inside the oven mitt and that this explained the lack of fingerprints.Of course, there is a huge logic flaw in the claim. Star reports
that the oven mitt was left in the car, photographed inside the glove box
by the Park Police the very next day. Foster would therefore have to have
carried the dark blued steel revolver with him from the car, without
the protection of the oven mitt, then placed it inside his mouth and pulled
the trigger.The presence of the oven mitt in the glove box therefore does not
explain the lack of fingerprints on the dark blued steel revolver found
next to Foster's body.While there may be legitimate reasons for an oven mitt to be in the
glove box there is some question as to whether the oven mitt was really
in Foster's car as represented by Kenneth Starr.Starr states that the oven mitt was photographed by the Park Police
in their impound lot the day after Foster's body was found, July 21st,
1993. And, in the photographs from Allan Favish's
FOIA lawsuit, there are photographs
showing an oven mitt quite prominently on display inside the glove box.But there is a problem. A photograph
taken at Fort Marcy Park the night of July 20th 1993 clearly shows
debris on the passenger side floor.In the Park Police records, Detective Braun emptied the glove box
of all items PRIOR to detective Smith removing and cataloguing the
debris from the passenger seat floor. Records show Braun emptying the glove
box prior to leaving the Park Police impound lot as 6:35 AM July 21st.
Detective Smith's paperwork has him cleaning off the passenger side floor
after noon on July 21st.Clearly, a photograph showing the glove box with items in it over
a clean passenger side floor is in direct contradiction to the Park Police
record of the search of Foster's car.The photographs of the oven mitt appear
to be after-the-fact stagings at best, complete frauds at worst. When Detective
Braun emptied the glove box from Vincent Foster's car, her inventory did
not record the presence of an oven mitt.

Lisa Foster

It's easy to simply dismiss Lisa Foster as the hapless victim of a tragedy,
and to (as so many supporters of the suicide theory have argued) declare
her off-limits in any analysis of the events surrounding the death of her
first husband.However, there are indications that Lisa Foster has had her own suspicions
regarding just how her husband died.When John Rolla first arrived at the Foster's D.C. home to inform
Lisa Foster of the discovery of her husband's body at Fort Marcy Park,
Rolla noted an unusual event in his report.What Rolla saw fit to comment on was the strange reaction of Lisa
Foster to Rolla's describing the gun found with her husband's body, in
which at the mention of the gun's color Lisa simply exits the room in a
highly emotional state.In Lisa Foster's FBI interview it was
established that the only gun that was in the Foster's Washington D.C.
Residence was a chrome plated revolver. It is apparent that Lisa would
have had to know that the black gun being described to her by Rolla was
not
her husband's.But rather than say anything about the discrepancy, Lisa Foster simply
terminated the discussion.Yet another indication of acquiescence if not complicity was found
in Lisa Foster's New Yorker
interview, basically a spin piece in which Lisa Foster talked about
the stresses of the preceding two years but said nothing to challenge the
suicide theory of her husband's death.Now, at the time Lisa Foster did this interview, she had to know
deception existed in the case. John Rolla had told her that the gun found
with her husband's body was black. Lisa knew that the black gun could not
be the Foster family's silver gun. When shown a photograph of the dark
blued steel gun she did not identify it. But by the time this interview
took place, she had been through the FBI interview in which a silver gun
was presented to her as the gun found with her husband's body! Lisa Foster
did not comment on the magically changed gun during the interview, nor
did she take the opportunity to mention the issue during her interview
with the New Yorker.It's important not to ascribe a sinister motive to Lisa Foster's
actions. A mother who has seen her children lose one parent and is reasonably
concerned that they not lose another easily explains them.Shortly after the New Yorker interview, Lisa Foster married Judge
Moody in Arkansas. Shortly after that, Moody's son Neil was killed in a
high-speed traffic accident. Witnesses reported he was being pursued at
the time of the crash.

The Endless Spin

No sooner had questions surfaced regarding the circumstances of Vincent
Foster's death than a crowd of people surged forth to assure America that
Vincent Foster had indeed been depressed even though he had clearly concealed
it from everyone around him.Leading the attack was CBS "60 Minutes", which had openly
admitted biasing its handling of the Gennifer Flower's segment in 1992
to help Bill Clinton win the nomination. Quit a far cry from the media
handling of Gary Hart's infidelities!So, when reporter Chris Ruddy
started writing a series of article for the New York Post regarding the
inconsistencies in the Vincent Foster case, "60 Minutes" again stepped
again to Bill Clinton's defense with a hit piece on Ruddy. The mis-reporting
was so outrageous and error filled that Accuracy
in Media and issued some highly critical
reports, as did Congressman Dan Burton.Next came a segment of the A&E program "Inside Investigations"
with Bill Kurtis, which attempted to explain the absence of fingerprints
on the gun found with Foster's body by showing how the deep grooves of
a modern automatic pistol simply do not provide the surfaces needed to
capture fingerprints. That Foster's body was not found with a modern automatic
pistol with deep grooves and heavy texturing, but with a smooth
metal revolver, was not mentioned.The extreme lengths that Mike Wallace went to attack those who doubted
the official suicide story resulted in the following cartoon.Chris Ruddy's cartoon.Writing books in support of the official lie has become a growth
industry with "Blood Sport" and "Washington Tragedy" being prime examples.In the book Blood Sport (page 284), Susan Thomases describes a meeting
in her room at a private boarding house in which Vincent Foster "unburdened
himself" to her. Our spies have succeeded in locating and photographing
the room, just so that you get an idea of what life in service to the White
House is like.Click

was so filled with errors that author James Stewert, a Columbia University
Professor, described the gun found with Vincent Foster' body as "silver
colored" (obviously having read the FBI files from the Lisa
Foster interview).Click

A caller, "Larry", points out to James Stewert the fact that the gun found
with Foster is actually black. Stewert tries to equivocate, then simply
yanks the plug on Larry.This transcript makes clear that Stewert KNOWS he is in error on
the gun color, and is refusing to acknowledge its implications.Ergo, Stewert and his book are purely propaganda!

The public reaction

With the mainstream media having abandoned its self-proclaimed role
of watchdog against government abuse, the public at large began to seek
other, less traditional venues to display their awareness.An unknown party traced out the words "Foster murder" at the base
of the Washington Monument, using garden fertilizer! This prompted the
following news story.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT "EVENT".

NY POST - April 18, 1996"PARANOID POSSE GUS FOR BROWN"By Richard Johnson(last paragraph)"Finally, lest Foster be forgotten, our spy peering out a window
atop the Washington Monument claims that the letters 'FOSTER' are eerily
spelled out in the lawn looking toward the Lincoln Memorial. Presumably,
a prankster armed with a bag of fertilizer wanted all those unmindful tourists
to wonder, 'whose next?'"Hardly had the National Park service removed the lettering and as
the aroma wafted unnoticed across the Capitol Building, the photographs
of the fertilizer words appeared as an underground postcard.Distributed from one Internet activist to the next, the networks
and even the White House itself were flooded with these postcards mailed
from across the nation.Click

up the above as a T-shirt and wore it to the office the last few days I
was there. The photo is the one of Foster's hand leaked by the White House,
and the text above it is scanned from the actual part of the FBI's FD-302a
which proves that Lisa Foster was shown a silver gun by the FBI. Talk about
if looks could kill! The graphic is reproduced here and permission is granted
to make up your own T-shirts with it. Have fun. Piss off a mainstream media
covert asset today!
